A low-grade sprint handicap in which most would have some sort of chance. Prominna wasn’t beaten far reverting to the Turf at Lingfield last month but his yard is struggling for winners at present. Our Lord ran a nice race on a belated reappearance at Bath when Quantum Dot, only 2lb better off, was well beaten. Very First Blade is back on a winning mark but Catalinas Diamond has become disappointing and Mostashreqah has not managed a place on Turf in eight attempts. DAVID’S BEAUTY has been running better than form figures would suggest this year. He’s now a pound lower than when scoring at Beverley last August so gets the nod.
